WILLIAM STREET ARTISTS

SHAN TURNER-CARROLL is an Australian artist of Burmese descent whose practice explores site-specificity and integrates mediums including photography, sculpture, performance and film.

He embodies the role of the trickster, magician or pilgrim, using common gestures and everyday objects and acts in alchemical ways, creating the process of artmaking as ritualistic and transformative. Play, humour and experimentation are key elements within his current practice.

EMILY PARSONS-LORD is an experimental contemporary artist that makes ephemeral installations and performances that are informed by research and critical dialogue with climate sciences, natural history, and politics through the material consideration of air. Air is simultaneously local and global, encompassing the effects of breathing as well as the governance of polluters and policy makers. Air is where what we jettison into seeming oblivion is returned. It is a physical site, as well as a place we can project our imaginations.
